<p>However, the Coastguard in the UK has warned of the dangers of digging holes on the beach as they recenly carried out a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HMCGSomerset/photos/pcb.274518042906895/274517729573593/?type=3&amp;theater">training exercise</a> in advance of the peak season.</p>

<p>They want families and children to have fun around the coast&nbsp;this summer but&nbsp;always be aware of the dangers.</p>

<p>When holes are dug on the beach the loose sand can cause difficulty for others that walk over it later. Large amounts of sand can collapes over a person making it difficult to breath.</p>

<p>A child could also run into the sea and fall into a hole that was dug when the tide was out and get into difficulties.</p>

<p>John Kendray, senior coastal operations officer with the Coastguard in Weston-super-Mare told the <a href="http://www.westbriton.co.uk/don-t-dig-sand-holes-on-cornwall-s-beaches-it-s-too-dangerous/story-29515854-detail/story.html">West Briton</a> that digging on the beach can have &quot;very serious consequences&quot;.</p>

<p>The advise is:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Children should always be supervised</li>
	<li>Do not tunnel or dig under the sand&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Only dig shallow holes</li>
	<li>Fill in any holes when you are finished</li>
</ul>

<p>In 2005, three-year-old <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1508268/We-will-never-get-over-Abis-death-says-father.html">Abbie Livingstone-Nurse</a> died after falling into a hole dug under the sand at the high tide mark at Upper Towans Beach in Hayle.&nbsp;She was&nbsp;trapped in a five foot deep pit after playing with her brother on the beach and died despite the efforts of lifeguards and family.</p>
